Florida Panthers vs Detroit Red Wings Analysis
Florida Panthers was a favorite in their previous game against New Jersey Devils and came out on top 4-2 with Sam Reinhart scoring twice, Aleksander Barkov scoring once and assisting on another, Carter Verhaeghe and Brandon Montour each having two assists, and Sergei Bobrovsky in goal stopping 33 out of 35 shots faced. Florida has been on fire recently, scoring four or more goals in seven of their last 10 games. They rank fifth in goals per game and first in shots per contest, but defense and goaltending have been below average for the Panthers. Florida ranks 23rd in goals against per game and 23rd in shots against per game, as they sit fourth in the Atlantic division just one point away from a Wild Card spot. To secure that spot, Florida’s defense and goaltending must step up during the final stretch of the season.
Detroit Red Wings was an underdog in their last game, falling 5-1 against the Colorado Avalanche. Pius Suter scored the lone goal while Ville Husso allowed five goals on 21 shots faced. Recently, Detroit has struggled on offense; scoring two or fewer goals in seven of their last 10 games and ranking 23rd for goals per game and 29th in shots per game. On defense, Detroit ranks 18th against goals per game and 11th against shots against per game; as such, it appears unlikely they will make the playoffs this year.
